• Building client relationships and supporting business development across the region

The firm's clients include high street and challenger banks, private credit providers, corporate borrowers, investors, developers and owner-managed businesses.

• Background in a recognised banking and finance practice
• Strong technical knowledge of lending and security documentation
• Experience acting for both lenders and borrowers
• Excellent drafting, negotiation and matter management skills
